14 Movie Franchises You Had No Idea Still Existed

12. Death Race

Death Race Beyond Anarchy
Universal

In fairness, you might not even be aware that Death Race is a franchise. You've probably at least heard of the 1975 Sylvester Stallone and David Carradine-starring exploitation classic as well as the 2008 Jason Statham-starring remake, but beyond that? Doubtful.

Since then, four straight-to-video sequels have been released, with the most recent, Death Race: Beyond Anarchy, hitting DVD just earlier this year, co-starring Danny Trejo and Danny Glover no less.

They're not great movies by any means, but they know exactly what they are and deliver accordingly. Hell, 2017's Death Race 2050 even has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, so clearly, this series isn't going away anytime soon.
